Sir Terry Frost abstract PVC bag
If you’re not familiar, Sir Terry Frost was an early and influential British abstract artist – and this PVC bag uses a detail from one of his images.
That image is Orchard Tambourine. The bag itself uses just dome of the ‘patches’, printing them onto a cotton drill bag using a hard-wearing PVC coating.
It’s sized at 30 x 34cm, so pretty large. And it’s available from the Royal Academy of Arts for £25.

Handmade Daisy Bags
There’s a distinctly vintage feel to these handmade Daisy Bags.
That’s probably down to the bright colours or possibly that daisy design, but more likely, the fact that it is made of that 70s staple, felt. The whole bag is made of felt, including the long strap and the design.
And if you like that idea, these bags are available to order online in a choice of colours, priced at £55.

Fred Perry Weekend Bag
I’m very much liking this newly-issued Weekend Bag from Fred Perry.
A vintage-style brown and black colour scheme, retro design (the logo on one side, the name on the other) and silver Fred Perry Laurel zips. I’m not wild about the shoulder strap, but thankfully that is detachable.
Sized at approximately 55cm x 45cm, you can pick one up for £49.

Kim White Red Chevron retro travel bag
Kim White does something strange with bags – she makes them out of vintage American car fabrics. And guess what? They look pretty cool, with designs like this Red Chevron retro travel bag.
Perfect for a weekend away, no-one will suspect your bag was made from a 1979 GM Motors vehicle, they’ll just see it as a smart houndstooth number, trimmed with black leather, red trim and with a zip top. There’s also a large zip pocket on the side, as well as an organiser pocket.
Sized at 16 x 22 x 9 inches (excluding strap), it retails for $380 (around £190).
